Vehicle Rental Services

The Texas Department of Transportation - Division 601 awarded a term contract for Vehicle Rental Services to The Hertz Corporation, headquartered at 8501 Williams Road, Estero, Florida. The contract, designated as 26206844, was awarded on December 7, 2025. Under this agreement, The Hertz Corporation is obligated to provide vehicle rental services to support the transportation needs of the State of Texas and its political subdivisions. The initial purchase order (PO No. 26206844) reflects a nominal transaction value of $143.96 for one unit of commodity code "D," classified under National Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP) Code 97514.

The contract operates as a term vehicle rental agreement, establishing an ongoing vehicle rental arrangement rather than a one-time procurement. While the completion date of September 15, 2025 predates the award date, this discrepancy likely reflects a data entry error or administrative dating convention. As a term contract, this award establishes pricing and terms for vehicle rental services that the State of Texas may utilize throughout the contract period. The transaction qualifies for exemption from Federal Excise Taxes and state and city sales taxes under Texas Tax Code Section 151.309(4), as the vehicles are being procured for exclusive use by the State of Texas or Texas political subdivisions.
